Hi Matt,

I could run as you told but had problems so i did what helge had (you need to go to /palo/ipl and do "hppa-linux-ranlib ipl.a". Then go back to /linux and do a "make palo" again.) then lif image was created.

But when I type bo lan at HP server Iget the following error
-------------------------
Booting...
Cannot find ENTRY_TEST.

Fail to initialize.

ENTRY_INT
Status=-7
----------------------------------
My config files are as follows:

I have /etc/bootptab file as follows:
-------------------------
linux:\
        hn:\
        sm=255.255.248.0:\
        vm=rfc1048:\
        ht=ether:\
        hd=/tftpboot:\
        bf=vmlinux:\
        ha=0010830339e0:\
        ip=192.168.1.237
--------------------------------

and my exports file reads as :
--------------------------------------------------
/tftpboot/linux linux(rw,no_root_squash)
-------------------------------------------------------

I had changed the NFSROOT line in Makefile in palo to
NFSROOT = 192.168.1.236:/tftpboot/linux

Untar it in /, it will live in /opt/palinux.
Add /opt/palinux/bin to your path
Edit palo/Makefile and set it up for nfsroot, mine has the following line,

NFSROOT = 15.1.51.72:/tftpboot/geordi

That's the location of my nfsroot. Make sure you export it. My /etc/exports
contains,

/tftpboot/geordi                15.1.51.73(rw,no_root_squash)

Then in the linux directory do,

make oldconfig (maybe answer questions)
make dep;make clean
make palo

Setup your bootp server to point to the lifimage generated. My /etc/bootptab
contains,

geordi:\
        hn:\
        sm=255.255.248.0:\
        vm=rfc1048:\
        ht=ether:\
        hd=/tftpboot:\
        bf=lif-geordi:\
        ha=0800097891EB:\
        ip=15.1.51.73

and /tftpboot/lif-geordi is a symlink to palo/lifimage

Hopefully that's enough information to get you going. If you have problems
please let me know how far you get.

Thanks,
